Commentary
Georges Depeyrot attribue ces monnaies à l’évêque Ragnecapdus en raison de la présence d’un R sur la hampe de la croix, mais elles pourraient tout aussi bien être de l’évêque Ratbertus car le motif au revers avec un grènetis doté d’annelets est proche de ceux qu’il attribue à Merfridus, plus proche chronologiquement de Ratbertus.
Historical background
PARIS (PARISIUS)
(7th-8th centuries)
The Merovingian coins of Paris are broken down into royal, palatine, palatine school, fiscal, monetary and denarius gold coins. The denarii are of several types; Bishopric (in the name of Agilbertus, Sigofredus, Turnoaldus, Adulfus, Berneharius, Hugo, Merfridus, Fedolius, Ratbertus, Ragnecapdus or Madalbertus), the School, the Palace and of the Paris region. The reverses are mostly adorned with a swastika or an anchored cross.
